Upon enc steamer recently about four
thousand pounda Of California butter
vsrs imported from San Francisco.
This butter costs from nineteen 20
twenty cents .eE pound in San Fran
cisco at wholesale. and oar merchants
In addition to this are obliged to pay
fouF dollars and half q ton freight to
get IL 10 Seattle. fifty cents ton wharf
age, and hfty ceats more ten for cart
age. The actual cost, therefore, Of this
butter IL greater than the ooss Of butter
made and delivered BY our Own farm
ere. IL ssems unfortunate THAI 70 should
be necessary under these circumstances
70 import any butter from GoFoad. The
only reason that it lie doae is that dur
ine the winter months, from December
TO April, the supply Of home butter is
inadequate to meet the demand, and
because during these months the bot
ter made here is apt to be Of rather
inferior quality. We see no reason,
hsweveT, why both OF these difficulties
cannot be obviated and our farmers get
The entire bsuefil Of this business. It
WOald certainly be Tor the interest OF
our daiFymen 10 see TO Il tha1 the
supply Of their own butter should
always be equal TO the demand, 30 that
our merchants would never be uodsr
the nsoessity Of pureh lsinR 10 oatsido
markets. Indeed, there Is no reason
Why instead Of Importing batter ve
should not export II. So far as quality
is concerned, there IL still less reason
Why Vs should be behind any section
Of the country. A proper association
OF daiTymen, and proper spirit Of en-
tsFpTise 10 keeping abrea8t Of the timss
Ia all improvements relating TO the ap.
plianoes and methods used In the man-
factuEe Of butter would certainly r.
suit IN our being able to msuufaoiure a
grade Of butter tha, could not be sur
passed. Oas OF our farmers found IL
almost impossible few days ago TO dis
pose Of few hundred pounds Of butter
because OF the large supply Of California
butter in the market. This is not as It
should be, and We have no doubt that
eur merchants will second all Efforts OF
the daiEymsn TO bring abou, a change.
There are two things. and two thines
only, that IL is necessary 10 do, increase
the supply and improve the quality,
and there will be no fear Of outside

MAAIrOBA,s RAlLROADs.

The people Of Manitoba are greatly
dissatisfied ct tae extent to which they
are under the power Of the Car adam
Pacific railroad. Especially are tie
people of Winnipeg dissatisfisd. They
feel that their city is completely at the
mercy Of one corporation and are eager
to enjoy the benefits Of competition.
By lie charter from the Dominion
government the Canadian Pacific pos
sesses practical monopoly Of the trans
portaiion business Of Manitoba. No
other road 10 permitted to enter the
province. Even the power and influence
of the GraRd Trunk has proved unable
10 break the monopoly. that company
having recently decided to abandon its
proisot for the construction of 9 road
westward to Winnipeg.
The people Of the provinces have for
several years been restless under thsir
enforced dependence UPON the Cana
dian Pacific. This restlessness has re-
Gently been So marked that much mean
inelsGs talk has been heard about sepa-
ration from the Dominion, annexation
to the United States, defending rights
at the point Of the bayonet and such
other things as are usually uppermo st
10 the thoughts OF excited Canadians.
There are half-a dozsn American
roads which would be glad to build 10
Winnipeg il the Dominion government
would permit them 10 do so, bat such
permission has been sternly denied by
the Ottawa government, which Is com
pletely aAdeE the control OF the Can
adam Pacific. Recently the provincial
government Of Manitoba has threatened
to grant charters to American roads
seeking to enter the province, without
references 10 what the Dominion govern
nient may do or think in the matter.
The probability Of this being done is
deemed so great by the Canadian Pacific
officials that they have attempted to
prevent it by threatening to retaliate
upon the city Of Winnipeg. Their
threat Is that they will remove their
shops and offices from Winnipeg and
viii also change the course Of their
road Ia such q manner as to avoid Win
nipee entirely. tbas leaving the city en-
tiFsly at the mercy Of the American
roads which may be induced to build to
IL.
Il is doubtful whether the Canadian
Pacific would actually carry oct this
threat. Winnipeg is an important
point, and il is quite as necessary to the
Canadian Pacific as the Canadian Pa
oi3o is TO il. Thsrs are not 90 many
cities along the lire Of that rosd that Il
can sfioFd either TO destroy or to an
taeouiHs any OF them. Ihs threats,
however, may have the desired effect,
and II they do. peace will be main
tanned and everything will be serene.
